The DeLorean Time Machine from Back to the Future (1985) What we wouldn’t give to have this baby parked in our garage. Just imagine being able to skip all the crappy parts of life – Mondays, appraisal meetings, break-ups… Heck, we’d even settle for the time-shifting universal remote control from Click (2006).

The Neuralyzer from Men In Black (1997) Forgot your significant other’s birthday? An embarrassing snafu at work? This pocket-sized memory wipe device made it possible for Agents J and K to keep the MIB program a secret from Earth’s populace, and we could think of a million more ways we could put it to good use.

Jarvis from Iron Man (2008) Just A Rather Very Intelligent System, or Jarvis as we know it, is Tony Stark’s patient and long-suffering butler who cleans up after Stark’s escapades go awry and helps him assemble new versions of The Suit – a perfect Man Friday if we ever saw one. Oh, and the suit’s pretty cool too!

Lightsaber in Star Wars (1977) No self-respecting, yet-to-be-invented gadget list would be complete without the most legen-wait for it-dary weapon of all time – the Lightsaber. It’s made of pure energy and cuts your opponents (or that obnoxious guy at the bar) in half. We’re calling dibs on Darth Maul’s red double-bladed lightsaber.

Bumblebee from Transformers (2007) Who doesn’t want a bright yellow Chevy Camaro that can “transform” into your personal robot and handle both your travel and trouble? Still hung up on KITT from Knight Rider? We have two words for you. Megan. Fox.

Invisibility Bracelet from Mr. India (1987) The invisible car from Die Another Day (2002) and Harry Potter’s mischief-encouraging cloak were undoubtedly cool, but we have a soft spot for Mr. India’s bad-ass bracelet that helped him outwit Mogambo.
